ROPE AND WIRE CLAMP.

Application filed February 11, 1926, Serial No. 87,520, and in SwedenJuly 30, 1925..

This invention relates to a devicefor preventing the movement in onedirection of strapor rope-formed members, particularly adapted for.straps, strings, ropes and the like for the holding of objects.

The accompanying drawing shows an embodiment of the invention. Fig. 1 isa vertical longitudinal section through the device, and Fig. 2 is a sideView of the same.

Fig. 3 is an end View and Fig. 4 a plan View of the device.

In a frame'or a casing 1 a transverse groove or depression 2 isarranged, in Which the pin-shaped end 3 of a clamping lever 4:

is pivotally mounted. The lever 4 is provided with a hole 5 or the like,Fig.1,

through which a pin 6 is inserted, said pin running almost at rightangles to the longitudinal direction of the groove and having its endparts supported by the frame. On the pin 6 a cylindrical spiral spring 7is mounted, one end of which rests against the frame, While the otherend lies against one side of the clamping lever. This spring tends tohold the lever in locking position. According as the size of the deviceis varied, the clamping lever may be provided With several holes 5 for acorresponding number of pins 6. 5-1:- In order that the lever may bechangeable the pin is preferably detachably arranged in the frame andthe lever is so mounted that, after the removal of the pin, it may bedrawn laterally out of the groove.

When the strapor rope-formed member consists of a steel Wire, theclampinglever 4 must be provided with projections and depressionsaccurately corresponding to the shape of the Wire. Otherwise, the leverto does not effectively lock the Wire as experience has proven. Theseprojections and depressions are most suitably made by means of a Waxcast from the Wire.

Having now described my invention, What I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent is 1. In a clamp of the character described,

the combination With a' pivotally supported clamping lever having a slotextending lengthwise in an arm thereof, of a pin traversing said slot ina direction substantially at right angles to the length ofthe slot, and

spring means carried by said pin and acting against said lever-tonormally move the same into operative position.

2. In a clamp of the character described,

the combination With a frame having a-depression therein, of a clampinglever having one end pivotally seated in said depression and anelongated slot in an arm of the lever, a pin t *aversing said slot in adirection substantially at right angles to its length, and spring meanscarried by said pin and acting against said lever to normally move thesame into operative position.

3. In a clamp of the character described, the combination With a framehaving a depression therein, of a clamping lever having a head adaptedto be removably received in said depression and form a pivot for thelever, an arm of said lever having a slot eX- tending lengthwie of saidarm, a pin re-- movably supported in the frame and extending through theslot in'a direction substantially at right angles to its length, and

a spring supported by said pin and acting against said lever to normallymove the same into operative position.

4. In a clamp of the character described,

the combination With a frame having a de-- pression therein, of a tWoarmed clamping lever having the lower face of one arm serrated and ahead at the end of the other arm removably received in. said depression,said second named arm having an elongated slot, a pin removabl; s1.ported by the frame and traversing the slot in. a directionsubstantially at ri ht angles to its length,.and a spring acting againstthe lever to normally move the same into clamping position.

In Witness whereof, signed my name.
